We're frantically putting the final touches together for the 25th Bucks Open Studios.
With a record-breaking 480 exhibitors across Bucks from 18th June - 3rd July, we are hoping for lots of interest this year. A sunny fortnight will help, especially as we have bravely decided to display many of our photographs outdoors! If you decide to visit us, you'll be pleased to hear that there are another 8 artists exhibiting within a few miles of us too (plus many more in Aylesbury Town), so you can make a full day of it!

There was a fantastic turnout for the Triathlon at Hatch End this weekend, despite the threatening early morning weather...
Torrential rain until 5am in the morning meant we woke wondering whether our early start to photograph the Jetstream Triathlon would be in vain. But the cloud soon broke up, resulting in a dry if chilly day.
That was outdoors... the indoor pool was the venue for the swimming, where it was hot hot hot, and pretty wet! Some of our gear refused to play ball, steaming up as soon as we entered the pool area. Luckily we had plenty of back-ups and captured all three events at this superbly run Triathlon, as well as the prizegiving, attended by local Councillor Jean Lammiman. You can see the shots in our Triathlon event photography gallery.

Finally, a warm day out for the latest sports event photography day! The sun was blazing at Kempton Park Racecourse for our latest Duathalon event photography job last weekend. Over 200 participants were out in force to enjoy the day with professional runners, cyclists as well as the veterans enjoying the sun and cameraderie of the event.
We took hundreds of photographs across the huge course, and probably covered a fair few miles ourselves, as the bright sunshine challenged our shooting skills. But a successful morning, and we're glad that Spring is finally here!

We have some great introductory offers available too... just contact us for a chat.
..Oh and Congratulations!

We were very pleased to be asked to photograph 8 under-3's yesterday at the Aylesbury Tunes for Toddlers group.
Tunes for toddlers is a fantastic kids music group run by Maria, to teach babies and toddlers to communicate and interact through music and song. For a special Easter treat, we attended to capture some lovely studio portrait shots of the kids ready for Easter pressies. With less than 8 minutes with each toddler... and their minds more on feeding, running and jumping than posing for the camera... it was no mean feat! But we made it through a manic hour or so to capture some beautiful pics of all of them with a few smiles and giggles along the way! Thanks to all the Mum's (and a Dad) who used all their cunning to elicit grins from their little 'uns. We hope they enjoyed their brief children's photography experience!...

You can see the pick of the photos in our Portrait photography gallery.


"Thank you Danny for taking our Easter Tiddler n Toddler' portraits at A BIG VOICE-Tunes for Toddlers Music session last week. I know you had your work cut out for you trying to capture some rather independant toddlers' attention in such a short time. You still managed to produce some beautiful shots-thanks to the distraction techniques of the Easter Bunny Ears and giant Easter chick dancing behind the camera man! We thought you were very professional and will definately be using you again. Maria"

The Royal Masonic School for Girls in Rickmansworth was the grand setting for our latest sporting photography fixture.
With over 13 teams from schools around the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire area taking part in this netball tournament, we were stretched to our limits to capture all the action this Saturday. With year 5 and year 8 girls partaking in some fast and furious, but overall friendly competitive fun, the weather held out well for the whole morning. Although freezing cold in the shade, keeping up with the girls soon kept us warm, and we managed to capture many superb sporting event photographs in the process! Don't expect us to take up the sport anytime soon though...

Windlesham Club and Theatre were hosts to a charity black tie ball this Valentines weekend.
The superb Chase children's charity were the benfactors of a great evening of live music, dancing and an art auction this weekend. Originally a Xmas ball, snowed off in December, the organisers re-themed the evening appropriately for Valentines, and we were on hand to capture the black tie event photographs, and portrait photographs of loving couples throughout the evening. We also donated a couple of landscape photos for the art auction, as well as a portrait photography session for the raffle. Altogether, over £2000 was raised for Children's hospices across the South East. See the photos from the evening at our Chase Windlesham Ball Photographs gallery.

Last night saw a fantastic evening of music, dinner and dancing all in aid of Cancer Research...
Moor Park Mansions was the setting for this fantastic Cancer Research Masked Ball. We were there too, taking some great portraits of the revellers enjoying the event in their black tie and evening dresses. Despite some masks taking over proceedings (long feathers can play havoc when you've more than two people trying to look great for the camera!) From doors opening at 7 until 2am this morning, we were non-stop and raised some much needed funds for this worthy charity. You can see some of the images in our Events photography gallery.

With the cold weather showing no sign of abating, we were pleased to receive this latest commission...
A commission to shoot a range of handmade woolly hats seemed just the ticket for this cold winter, although none of the kids headwear would fit the photographer. We shot some great close-ups of the fantastic quality of these painstakingly knitted hats, as well as a few shots of the lovely Sara in her winterwear taken in the studio - which wasn't much warmer than outdoors!

Whilst the country is hit by snowstorms, Danny Higgins Photography create a storm of their own with their new website...
Just in time for Christmas, we are proud to announce the launch of our new website at www.dannyhigginsphotography.com. With great images demonstrating our work across the fields of live music photography, event photography, product photography and portraits we'd love to hear from you to let us know what you think!

Swinley Forest in Bracknell became the venue for 700 Santas and several Rudolphs for a charity 'Santa Dash' this weekend. Our Charity event photography team were there too.
Raising money for the Thames Hospice, we were on hand to photograph the now-to-be annual Santa Dash held at the Look Out in Swinley Forest near Bracknell. Three races took place, with under 5's, under 10's and Adults all dashing and prancing (geddit?) around the forest. An amusing sight, and some great photos - oh and some good money raised for a deserved charity to boot.

Farnham-based furniture designer Bubinga commissioned Danny Higgins Photography to shoot their new product range ready for launch of a new website.
The website is due to be live before Xmas, and is designed by 360design. We arrived in the morning and turned their showroom into a huge photo studio, then spent the day capturing the stunning furniture designs in all their glory. From bespoke 3-wood desks to the fantastic fold-up 'Gyro' rocking chairs, Bubinga's range is truly inspirational.

As the West Drayton Mountain Bike Club (WDMBC) gathered for their latest Enduro race, we were there to capture the action!
The WDMBC met at Bordon in Hants for their latest Enduro race. With several groups of competitors, from pro to fun bikers, it was an event for all, and the photos demonstrate just how great the event was. Despite the cold, Danny Higgins Photography supported a partner photographer to help capture all the action on the day.

For the third successive year, Danny Higgins Photography was asked to photograph the birthday celebrations of the Boileroom live music venue.
The Boileroom has been going from strength to strength over it's first 4 years of business, with iconic performances from the likes of Newton Faulkner, Jim Bob from Carter USM, and the Bluetones gracing the stage at the venue. As Dom and the gang celebrated in style, we captured the whole night for their website and local newspaper coverage... and what a night it was! Fairy cakes, Live DJs and bands, and even a Robot beatbox... They sure know how to party!
